Benefits 👍🏼
GMO apples are currently under review by the USDA, and have been since 2010, when the company Okanagan Specialty Fruits, Inc., developed apple varieties that don't turn brown for an entire two weeks after slicing.

Genetic engineering can also make plants that resist harmful insects and diseases. Insects can destroy millions of crops each year. Insect damage costs millions of dollars and can cause starvation in some countries.
-
"Many producers modify corn and soy so they are resistant to the herbicide glyphosate, which is used to kill weeds."
-
Concerns☠️
For instance, genetic modification can decrease the water requirement of the staple cereal crops mentioned above by selection for traits that increase the rate of photosynthesis and depth of root structure
-
It has been estimated that 25 percent of these losses may be resolved by genetically modifying maize to be more drought tolerant
-
"For example, if a banana gene is added to corn, then it could cause an allergic reaction in people with rare banana allergies."
-
Claim: A Mayor concern of GMO's could be how much they can absorb water and if they need less or more water.
EVIDENCE: For instance, genetic modification can decrease the water requirement of the staple cereal crops mentioned above by selection for traits that increase the rate of photosynthesis and depth of root structure
